My matron of honor (my cousin which is like and older sister) was also my madrina. She got us our cake as a gift.

ETA: About padrinos and Catholic church not marrying you they just use the MOH and the BM as padrinos.

---

Seems a little weird to me lol. It would b nice to ask someone to b a padrino, makes em feel special.

---

Hummm I guess i just used the Americanized way and translated Padrinos into BM and Matron of Honor.

---

I thought so too, but I went to a friend's wedding (she is from Peru) and she had 2 sets of Padrinos, one for her and one for her husband, a maid of honor and a best man as well...too many people,...lol

I grew up in South Richmond Hill, Queens. It transitioned from being an italian/german area to a west indian (mostly guyanese) area while I was growing up there. I now live in Forest Hills.

I work as a Bilingual marketing project manager for a financial company.

HI Ladies,

My name is Catalina (i am Colombian, born there, raised here). DH is Nicaraguan and Guatemalan (and a little chinese somewhere in there), he was born in Guatemale but raised here....

We are Christian, but I was raised Catholic, when it came to the wedding we decided to get married in a Christian church (that he grew up in). The service was in Spanish.

For cake we had tres leches cake- which was amazing!!! and for food we included arroz con gandules and a roasted whole pig (lechon- which I didnt really want but DH was all for it).

All our music was in Spanish except for some hip-hop from back in the days (early 90's) and some current one.


So to add to the thread...let talk about where we grew up and what we do for a living...

I grew up in Cypress Hills Brooklyn...(border of East NY)...I love Brooklyn and how everyone knows everyone....now I live in Hollis (the quiet part...lol) I go to law school...but did non profit social work for a while....

Whose next?

Hii and welcome!!! I loved that you had arroz con gandules and a lecon(yummy!!!!) My hall offers it but they are charging like $300 for it ..I'm from Elmhurst Queens, i live there with my mom and soon with FH. We were just planning on staying there because it's a large house and my mom is alone so i dont really want to leave her. Right now i'm working full time and go to school part time.

Re: Official Latina Brides Thread

Sooo.... Are the Latin relatives wanting to invite everyone and their vecinos. Sometimes our people just dont understand that weddings are not a come one come all. Thank God my parents were cool about that, but I invited tons of people from their friends.
